Girard - Whiskey and a Winchester Lyrics

Verse 1
Out on the edge of nowhere, where the shadows creep,
I've been runnin' from my demons, (can't find a place to sleep.)
With the moonlight on my face, and the stars up high,
I'm just a ghost of a man, livin' fast, (but I'm too tired to fly.)

Chorus
With a whiskey in my right hand, (and a Winchester in my left,)
I'm a soldier of the night, (in a world that feels like theft.)
Every shot tells a story, (every sip brings the pain,)
I'm a runaway lover, singin' (freedom in the rain.)

Verse 2
I hear the howlin' wolves, they're singin' my name,
Each bottle I uncork just adds fuel to the flame.
The law's on my tail, (but I'm never gonna stop,)
Got a heart full of sorrow and a head full of rock.

Chorus
With a whiskey in my right hand, and a Winchester in my left,
I'm a soldier of the night,( in a world that feels like theft.)
Every shot tells a story, (every sip brings the pain,)
I'm a runaway lover, singin' freedom in the rain.

Bridge
In the dead of the night,( I can hear the sirens wail,)
But they'll never take me alive; I'm bound to prevail.
I'll stand my ground like a mountain, (won't let 'em take me down,)
With the whiskey for my courage and the rifle for my crown.

Verse 3
So I'll drink to the madness and I'll shoot for the stars,
A life on the run, but I'm never too far.
From the love that I lost and the dreams that I had,
In the bottle's reflection,( I see both the good and the bad.)

Chorus
With a whiskey in my right hand, and a Winchester in my left,
I'm a soldier of the night, (in a world that feels like theft.)
Every shot tells a story, every sip brings the pain,
I'm a runaway lover, singin' freedom in the rain.

Outro
So here's to the nights that won't let me rest,
With a whiskey and a Winchester,( I'll always do my best.)
And when the dawn breaks through, I'll still be on the run,
Just a man with a bottle, and a rifle, my only gun.
